Home-style Shrimp and Cabbage Wonton Recipe

At around 10 months, I started giving my baby small dumplings and small routinewater dumplings. His chewing ability has always been particularly good, truly these complementary foods.

When shopping at the supermarket before, I also saw mini water dumplings for children; they were very cute. My baby could eat one with each mouthful. Due to concerns about preservatives in frozen dumplings from takeout services, I did not buy them.

My baby had great difficulty chewing large dumplings, so I decided to make mini dumplings using a mold. At 10 months old, he ate five of them, which really scared me; I was afraid he might overeat.

This mini water dumpling uses many lazy tricks, haha! It's very time-saving and even those with no cooking skills can learn it! You can make more and store them in a sealed container in the freezer for easy access whenever you want to cook them!

　　Ingredients Main ingredients:

　　mutton 60g,cabbage leaves 50g, carrot 15g, shrimp chips 10g, salt as needed, ginger slice 1 piece, green onion 1 stalk. The mutton should have a little fat to make the texture softer and not dry.

Steps

A. Suitable age: Over 10 months

Cooking time: 30-40 minutes

Skill level analysis: Intermediate

Recommendation index: ★★★★★

Prepare 120 grams of regular flour. Use a digital scale to measure the ingredients as I specified.

B. If you have no experience kneading dough, you can buy an electronic scale and follow my ingredient ratios!

While mixing the flour with water, use chopsticks to stir until it forms a shaggy dough ball, then knead on the work surface for 5 minutes.

Form a smooth dough ball, cover with a cloth and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before use.

C. Ingredients for filling: mutton 60g, cabbage leaves 50g,carrot 15g, shrimp chips 10g, ginger slice 1 piece, green onion 1 stalk.

Mutton should have a little fat to make it more tender and not dry.

Rinse the shrimp chips with warm water, drain well, and set aside.

D. Chop cabbage and carrot into small pieces, blend in a food processor until finely chopped.

E. Cut mutton into chunks, drain shrimp chips, chop ginger slice, and green onion; blend them all together in a food processor to make the filling. If you don't have a food processor, you can cut these ingredients by hand and mix them.

F. Mix counterclockwise until smooth. For babies over 1 year old, add a little salt for seasoning; do not add salt for babies under 1 year old.

G. Now, let's demonstrate the easy-to-follow routinewater dumpling wrapping method!

① Knead the rested dough ball and use a rolling pin to roll it into thin dough sheets. If sticking occurs, dust with a little dry flour.② Use molds such as measuring cups, yogurt lids, muffin

molds or any available mold to cut out 4cm round pieces of the dough.This is very quick and efficient; you don't have to worry about kneading the dumpling wrappers anymore!③ Place a small amount of filling on each piece, then fold it in half. If you're worried about the edges not sealing properly, use water to seal them tightly.H. The mini routine water dumplings are such a size that my baby can eat two with one mouthful! I. Boil water in a pot; once boiling, gently stir with a spoon from one side to prevent sticking. J. When the water boils again after adding cold water, and all the dumplings float, they are done cooking.K. Remove the mini routine water dumplings, the remaining soup can be given directly to my baby or used as in my recipe by sprinkling an egg over it, adding some seaweed,

to make a beautiful seaweed egg flower soup; combining solid and liquid foods for one meal!

Mini dumplings wrapped well, such size that a baby can eat two pieces at once!

Boil water in a pot, add the dumplings after the water comes to a boil, and gently stir with a spoon to prevent sticking.

When the water boils again, pour in a little cold water; the dumplings are cooked when they float completely.

Remove the dumplings, the remaining broth can be given directly to the baby to drink. Or add an egg liquid as I did, and add a bit seaweed, make a beautiful seaweed egg flower soup with something dry and wet for one meal!
